Tuesday Tutorial - A6(ish) Double W Fold - Fitting Florets

 

Back to the second version of my Double W Fold card... 

But before I start... today is the last day of the Sale A Bration promotion!! So don't forget to order and sign up whilst you can get all those extra freebies...click HERE for more details...

This version maximising the use of one piece of A4 cardstock... resulting in a card that is 14.5cm wide (hence the A6ish name in the title as it is very slightly smaller than the standard A6 14.8cm size... )

And I do find it fair to warn you... I have been very busy with variants of Double W Fold cards... so lots more to come...

3. Valley Fold both "in half"
4.  Mountain fold thin section on longer piece (aka the glue tab)
5. Open both out and place stood up in front of you - with the longer piece to the left with the glue tab to the right side... 
6. Apply glue to the front face glue tab... and stick the shorter/RH panel to the tab...
   
   
7. Cut the 2 LANDSCAPE taller paper panels in half at 14cm
8. Adhere papers

10. Score the two shorter paper panels at 7,14 & 21 cm
11. Bone Fold Valley, Mountain & Valley
12. Concertina Fold (forms a W shape with a central mountain and valleys either side)
    
    For the left hand sections of the card...
13. Hold concertina panel with 2 open edges and folded centre facing to the right
14. Apply glue to back face  
15. Stick concertina panel down onto right of right hand section lining up with your paper at the side...

19. Ink up, stamp, cut and punch as necessary
    I used the A La Mode dies and Alphabest stamp & punch bundle ... along with retired Stitched Shapes dies and a 1 3/4" square punch
20.  Decorate card
    
    
    
    I have purposefully left this one blank on the front as I can then add the age when I am ready to send it!
